The gap between the TDP and BJP in Andhra Pradesh has now widened
courtesy the claim of BJP’s national president Amit Shah who announced
recently at a meeting in Rajahmundry that the central government has
already given Rs 1.4 lakh crore to the residual state.
Sources
say that CM Chandrababu Naidu and his cabinet colleagues are highly
upset over Shah's act of `boasting' on March 6.The TDP is planning to
give a fitting reply soon to the BJP by `exposing' what was meant by the
central assistance for the ensuing state budget.
The
budget will be listing out the financial assistance which has been
extended by Narendra Modi-led NDA government right from June 2014. The
TDP core committee is seeing a larger ploy behind this speech of Amit
Shah.
TDP feel his statements are aimed at
expanding the BJP's electoral as well as political base in Andhra
Pradesh. The BJP president listing funds that were sanctioned under the
`plan expenditure' for AP is very much irking the TDP leadership as such
funds are extended to all states.
